Hi Alan, Thanks for your interest - everywhere I mention this in the Clojure world I get the same reaction! This is one of the reasons why I settled on Clojure a couple of months back (Erlang and Elixir were also good choices, but the Clojure movement has so much energy it was a no-brainer). I'm

Hi Anthony, unfortunately I can't point you to actual code examples (since this was work for a client), but I've got some screenshots & screenrecordings of a few OpenGL/CL desktop apps written in Clojure. Both of them don't use Swing for UI, but a custom widget system sitting straight on OpenGL2+ (

Yes, it's just me. Crazy, right? Like I said, I wouldn't even have attempted it without the productivity gains I've seen since I've started using clojure. Fortunately, the customer isn't in "we need this yesterday" mode (a refreshing, but rare, circumstance). -- You received this message bec

I've also had a lot of success with Prismatic's Schemalibrary. I've found it to be a good middle ground between type hints, Protocols, etc, and a full blown type system, such as core.typed . Hth Tim Washington Interrupt

I'm in the early stages of developing a real-world app for a customer that will use a full clojure stack. It's maybe not as sexy as all the social networking examples you see, but I think it's more representative of the types of apps most people write to satisfy real business needs. The app is
